My name is Richard Lawrence. I created a userid as of July 10, 2005, although I contributed a few edits anonymously prior to that. I became an administrator on the English Wikipedia on December 25, 2009 (local time).

As of August 2019, my most frequent areas of editing are around the following topics:

• Late 19th and early 20th century theater, mostly the creation and expansion of articles about plays, writers, and actors
• Ayn Rand and her writings, as well as related ideas, people, and organizations
• Admin handling of deletion requests, primarily at Articles for deletion and Miscellany for deletion.

I have a currently-unused alternative account under User:NATE Account, which was used exclusively (and rarely) for testing.
